Having a serious allergy to drama, I'm trying out Mastodon as a Twitter alternative. For any followers who would like to follow me at the new location, I've put my Mastodon username in my Twitter display name. 1/4

What happens in the longer term is up in the air. Further action by Twitter to stop Mastodon linking and other aggressions will speed up my transition. 3/4

Since we first distributed our #goodOA guide 10 years ago today, over 70 institutions have enacted simpatico #openaccess policies. We'd love to know (harvard.goodoa@gmail.com) if it's helped you too! bit.ly/goodoa

I do not think it is possible to say very much with confidence about the sentience of LaMDA — or of any other computer system — on the basis of transcripts. @pmphlt’s “The Turing Test as Interactive Proof” convincingly explains why not. dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/20… 1/

If the last two years were a movie, in which scientists develop a near-perfect vaccine for a deadly plague, but half the country won't take it, you'd be like: "This is too dumb to watch."

Sometime in the last month, the guide to good practices for university #openaccess policies that I maintain with @pmphlt passed the milestone of 300,000 page views.

That’s the most important thing I learned in college. (Unless you count meeting my wife. But we’re still married because I try to make it easy for her to give me an “A”.) Giving credit where it’s due, I learned it from @pmphlt.

I've never asked for retweets before, but please retweet this in an effort to put an end to this madness: tinyurl.com/x3ywt3ca
@CNN et. al. Please. It's "MLB," not "the MLB." It stands for "Major League Baseball." No one says "The Major League Baseball is working with. . . ."

Congrats to my grad alma mater @Stanford for their new #openaccess policy, widening the 2010 @StanfordEd policy to the whole university. Fantastic! And thanks go to @StanfordLibs for establishing the new Office of Scholarly Communications.
